1/2 In the southwestern portion of Isle Royale reside a pack currently made up of W001F, W007M, and W013M. These wolves have traveled together since mid to late March 2019. In the summer of 2020, we found evidence that W001F denned and had pups.

We are very excited that our paper on flow in non-human animals is now published in Biological Reviews 😀 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

one of the best life-long advises i got at the start of my phd "everyone in academia is smart. distinguish yourself by being kind"

Many academics (including myself) are writing papers about how policy needs to change to address the climate and/or ecological emergencies But do any of us actually believe these studies will affect policy making? Are we just howling at the moon?

Following up on my post from yesterday, some examples. I’ll bring the marshmallows. elevanth.org/blog/2023/06/1…

Writing Pro-Tip. Write the first rapid draft your proposal/paper WITHOUT CITING ANY REFERENCES. This approach helps you to focus on the narrative and ideas, rather than on explaining previous work. Afterward, you can figure out how existing literature modifies your narrative.

Misunderstandings about #Statistics abound, and treatment of "outliers" continues its assault on the scientific method.

Ecology is a fun field bc one of the most basic tasks is to know what is there and this is not an easy stats problem. So some branches of ecology are sophisticated about joint measurement and estimation, while others are 3 t-tests in a trenchcoat x.com/ESA_org/status…

What an interesting article! We lab/fieldwork/data analysis biologists URGENTLY need to collaborate with philosophers of biology.

Proud to see this out from my PhD! The culmination of years of work + data collection by many people. Does gut microbiome variation matter in free-living wildlife? doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Sure seems to for survival in Sable Island Horse Project Why? We think it might be partly related to…
